Perhaps it is astonishing that a person from the private sector was awarded this position by Mr. Manning, but what relevant experience did any of the other ministers have? It shouldnt surprise any intelligent citizen that decisions in politics are based on mutual/personal benefit and are not necessarily to the benefit of the country!
And question Mr. Panday, please get your facts right before making such bold statements! You render yourself an embarassment to those who know what really happened following the fundraising drive to help the cancer society!
